OPPOSITION TO NAME-CHANGE

 

RE: IN THE MATTER OF THE NAME-CHANGE OF

        AJANAE CHEYENNE HOILDEN-FORCHION ( L-490-04)

 

 

 

 

Please accept this informal Pro Se brief in lieu of a more formal lawyer prepared brief. I ROBERT EDWARD FORCHION, Jr. the natural father of Ajanae Cheyenne Forchion opposes the petitioned name change presented by Linda Holden the natural mother in part. I oppose the changing of my daughter’s last name as violative of first amendment rights and this action is another in a long line of wacky, requests by Linda Holden. Her fears are generated by her mental condition. She’s a hyprecondriak.

 

Linda Holden has now petitioned the court to legally change Ajanae’s last name from mine to her’s citing, “A potential for negative impact on her life due to my political expressions.” Ms Holden is being down-right dis-engenuious, the real reason cited is a flat-out lie. Linda is trying to appeal to the courts POLITICAL bias and RELIGIOUS Intolerance against me, my political belief’s as well as my RELIGIOUS belief’s as she has successfully done in the past with the bigots on the Burlington County bench. There are two real reasons for her seeking to change our daughter’s name.

 

(1) - Linda Holden has lied to Ajanae about what her name was for years. In January I informed our daughter Ajanae of her real legal name and told her that her mother in effect had been lying to her for years. This infuriated Linda and is most likely the true cause of this petition.

 

(2) – I am a very open non-Christian, while Linda is a born again Christian type who thinks her belief’s, morals and practices are Righteous. Linda is embarrassed that she was once in love with me, and had a child. She has on several occasions petitioned the family court with similar “first amendment violative actions”. For instance just recently she tried to force me to attend “CHRISTIAN COUNSELING SERVICES” of Willingboro, in the past she has petitioned the courts for me to only have supervised visitation at Catholic Charities of Burlington because of my religious beliefs. In August of 1998 she actually asked Judge “House-Nigger” Bell to end my visitation citing my choice in religions. This action was successful, Judge “house-nigger” Bell took my visitation because I openly express my religious beliefs. It took me 4 years to regain my visitation and absolutely nothing has changed, I haven’t converted to Christianity and continue to practice my beliefs despite what WHITE AMERICA thinks about them.

 

 

Regardless, if the court allows this scorned women to change the last name of  our child because of my POLITICAL affiliation it would open the floodgates of scorned women  in similar situations to attempt to change the Childs name with a “bogus, un-approvable claim that a fathers political belief’s would negatively affect the child”.

 

I am the founder of the Legalize Marijuana Party of America, a member of the U.S. Marijuana Party and generally vote for Libertarian candidates. All of these Political Parties oppose the ridiculous war on drugs especially, the inclusion of marijuana (a sacrament in my faith) in the prohibition. The issue of marijuana legalization is a valid political position in this country. (See case cited below where I was the Plaintiff.) To change my child’s name because of my political belief’s is not only ridiculous but would be totally un-American and fly in the face of the American principle of freedom of speech/expression.

 

  The First Amendment exists so as to promote debate on issues of public importance. In this case, the advocacy of the legalization of marijuana is a legitimate political position in this country. The Libertarian Party, whose presidential candidate received over 380,000 votes in the 2000 election, advocates the legalization of drugs. Libertarian Party website at http://www.lp.org/issues/relegalize.html and http://www.lp.org/campaigns/pres/. Many elected public officials have called for a liberalization of the nation's drug laws. Simply put, Plaintiff's place in this debate will do nothing to harm a public that is already itself debating the current state of our nation's drug laws.

        My choice in RELIGION is RASTAFARIANISM. My understanding of the first amendment was you have a right to freely choose the religion you want. I never imagined that it could be used to “distance” myself from my own child. I urge you to dismiss this ridiculous attempt by this deranged scorned women.

 

 *LEGAL DEFINITION OF RASTAFARIANISM: Is a religion which first took root in JAMAICA in the ninetieth century and has since gained adherents in the UNITED STATES. See: Mircea Eliade, Encyclopedia of Religion pages 96-97 (1998 edition). It is among the 1,558 religious groups sufficiently stable and distinctive to be identified as one of the existing religions in this country. See J.Gordan Melton, Encyclopedia of American Religious pages 870-71 (1991 edition). Standard descriptions of the religion emphasize the use of marijuana in cultic ceremonies designed to bring the believer closer to the divinity and to enhance unity among believers. Functionally, marijuana known as GANJA in the language of the religion --operates as a sacrament with the power to raise the partakers above the mundane and to enhance their spiritual unity.  UNITED STATES Vs BAUER, 84 F.3d 1549, 1556 (9th Cir.1996)   MCBRIDE Vs SHAWNEE CITY ,71 F.Supp. 2d 1098, (5th Cir. 1999) STEELE Vs BLACKMAN, 236 F.3d (3rd Cir. 2000)

 

For instances, imagine if I “a anti-abortion type” asked the court to drop the “HOLDEN” in my child’s name because her mother not only believes in ABORTIONS but had at least one.  The abortion issue is a as much a valid “political position” in this country as the marijuana issue, but on this issue Ms. “holier than thou” Holden is a hypocrite. “Thou shall not kill” seems to be something that can be excused in her mind, how killin ones own defenseless unborn child is okay but advocating for the legalization of marijuana is justifiable in her mind to change my child’s name is amazing or a quirk in Christianity.

 

INCONCLUSION

 

I ask the court to dismiss LINDA Holden’s wacky petition to change my child’s name and uphold the principal of “FREEDOM of SPEECH and RELIGION”. This petition is violative of 1st Amendment Rights and if granted would squelch the voice of others who hold similar views.
